Ok. Social media pause needed. Logging out and deleting this app. If you need to reach me, I have very obvious Gmail and personal domain email addresses.
Solid upgrade in Gov and Lt. Gov coming tomorrow to this great commonwealth!
View from my seat in the front row- a historic moment as the first woman Lt Governor in Virginia passes the gavel to second woman Lt Governor. Both are immigrants. ❤️ Senate clerk in the picture as well.

Towards the end of Trump's interview with 60 Minutes in November, Bari Weiss rushed into the room to introduce herself and the pair exchanged kisses on the cheek, leaving 60 Minutes staff stunned at the "overly chummy" embrace.

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit
The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

As someone originally from South Dakota, I’ve been talking shit about Kristi Noem longer than most people.
I hope someday she faces legal accountability for everything.

The core truth of the Trump era, and the one that journalism is forbidden from stating out loud, is that Trump has gathered around him a constituency of the country's worst people.
That's what most distinguishes them -- not economic status, age, where they live, anything else. It's shittiness.

Stop calling Nick Shirley a journalist. He's a MAGA political operative.
Shirley's viral video about Minneapolis daycare centers ignited the explosive situation that gave Donald Trump an excuse to launch the largest ever ICE occupation of an American city.

I mean, the Dickerson/DuBois Evening News felt like it was bad by design. Even if they both are respectable journalists.
The Dokoupil Evening News is somehow a worse evolution in slick packaging. As long as Bari isn’t editing scripts in iNews during the broadcast.

Tony Dokoupil: "Mr. President, thank you very much. For the record, I do think that I'd have this job even if the others guys won."
Donald Trump: "Yeah, but at a lesser salary."
[Dokoupil then giggles as they wrap up the segment.]
A CBS News staffer merely reacted with this: "HAHAHAHAHA"

This is the polar opposite of journalism's mission and role. I'm not surprised she doesn't get it, because that's never been her job, but writing it out so explicitly that you don't know what journalism is about should be embarrassing.

As your friend who spent 15 years using TV newsroom scripting/production systems, I am not surprised.
I was like 99.99999% sure this was what happened.
Even down to it being Bari who personally did it.
Micromanaging things to insane levels always bites you in the ass.
